2nd annual Cambridge High School Career Expo on Nov. 27

Published: November 25, 2012 8:00AM

The second annual Cambridge High School Career Expo is slated to kick off at 8 a.m. Nov. 27.

"Last spring's initial Career Expo was a great success," said committee member Bill Kafury. "The importance of job skills cannot be overstated in this highly competitive job market. We would like to make success more certain among our students. By presenting available careers in a productive and relevant forum, we can encourage our youth to develop the skills and education necessary to succeed as employees and leaders in our community. We believe that with proper planning this annual Career Expo will be the catalyst for a positive change within our community."

Opening the day will be Bobcat alum Mattie White, who currently serves as the associate athletic director for student athlete well being and development at Indiana University. She will share with students the importance of education and how her individual experiences helped her prepare for her career.

"At the completion of her presentation students will have a four period mini-schedule in the morning in which they will have an opportunity to hear four professionals speak about their careers, training and other aspects of their profession and the skills necessary to be employed in their chosen career," Kafury said.

The inaugural Career Expo was held in the spring. By moving the date to the fall of the school year additional events can be held throughout the remainder of the school year, Kafury said.
